Donald Trump Receives His Sentence in Hush Money Case

Introduction

Donald Trump’s Sentence

Donald Trump has received his sentence after being found guilty in his hush money case. The 78-year-old president-elect appeared remotely in a New York courtroom on Friday (January 10) to find out his punishment after being found guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records in May 2024. His sentencing was previously delayed ahead of the 2024 presidential election, and Donald unsuccessfully attempted to have it delayed once again this week. However, his request to the Supreme Court was overturned.

According to reporting by Deadline, Donald received an unconditional discharge sentence, which means that he will not serve any jail time nor face fines or probation. However, the felony charges will remain. He issued a statement about the decision, maintaining his innocence and bashing the case. “It was done to damage my reputation so that I would lose the election, and obviously it didn’t work,” he said, adding, “I would just like to say that I was treated very, very unfairly.” Donald will assume the presidency after his inauguration on January 20. He recently made another request of the Supreme Court.
